When will Gaijin address the issue of dive bombers being abused as fighters with airspawn?

Game Discussion Realistic Battle

For me B7A2 is simply a too-good fighter with all performances except rolling, but if we are including all of sb2c to brigands then yes, they are doing things out of their role, and intercepting is made to be a better choice for them.

I don’t really have much idea rn… when we consider everything to brigand. ARB is almost a fighter only mode itself, and talking about bombers in the mode… idk

And those laughable dedicated interceptors, maybe even Air Defense Fighters. The mode never cared, the meta never cared…

Separate Strategic Bombing mode when.

Oh back to the issue, maybe these single engined ones can be put to striker spawn, but twin engined ones would be harder to deal with. T18 > brigand > Do217E who also has an offensive 151 > Those with 7mms. Where’s the line and what are the consequences?

As written above: As long the plane has a bomb sight and is able to level bomb there is no need to discuss their bomber spawn. The 2 T-18 Bs have a bomb sight even if they are specific ground attack versions.

But imho this exchange is pointless as gaijin spreads spawns and classifications at will and Air RB is no stand-alone mode - just consider that plane classes play also a role for the fellow ground RB players regarding the required spawn points.

Have a good one!

PS: 217 E?? Are you serious??? 😂😉It was one of the most difficult challenges for me to kill all 4 bases (with C 250/C 500) in one run AND to stay alive. And i never ever saw a Do 217 E hunting other bombers…

I wasn’t complaining. You misread the context in which I made my reply, and in doing so insinuated I have “no brainpower.”

86

Jeez nobody is your enemy here - u play a war game.

Just try to take not everything as an insult. Brainpower in the sense of energy management is no insult. As soon as you get older you might get way more relaxed - being around 40 is still quite young…

Edit: Ignore list

If I am to descide I would increase rewards for Bombers/Attackers frag on ground/surface vehicle and bases while reducing Fighters’ for them; For the Fighters increase frag on air vehicles and reduce for frags to ground/surface target. That would require a redesign of current maps too.
But maybe what Gaijin will do is only the reduce part.

I don’t have a problem with the energy management. You did not get the context of my original reply. You are not the intellectual powerhouse you put the air on of being. It’s getting obnoxious.

For me this should be the beginning of all thinking.
What’s the goal of a battle in ARB?
What can I do with a specific plane to get to this goal?

For me a player in G8N1 with >10KD on this bomber has a higher value in a battle than a Mig21SMT on their way to a base as long as ARB is what it is.

Based on offensive weapons,? They could be a similar thing (more brigand-ish less b7a2-ish) despite they are different in performance when talking about abused as interceptors? 3.7-4.7 is a compressed imba BR range so I won’t judge performance that much.

Yep just do BR changes. They even gave B7A2 the sight lol

ARB asks everyone act like a fighter and kill everyone on the other team if they aim to Win; Profiting is always on the opposite side due to the time-based profit system… really bad design

The gunner of the B7A2 is actually the bombardier - you can see the small window with the sight below his position 😉

Also Strikers, Wyvern is the most prominent example. And this future thing even has some pro’s over regular fighters. Its very often abused with that airspawn.
